The digital world has changed how young people connect, share, and learn, but it has also brought new challenges like cyberbullying. Cyberbullying can easily sneak into chats and posts. Knowing how to respond matters now more than ever.
The Cyberbullying Worksheets include five pages of engaging activities. Understanding Technology & Cyberbullying helps clients identify how they use different types of technology and consider where online bullying might occur. Responding to Cyberbullying walks them through handling different cyberbullying situations, forming their own action plan, and sorting good responses from bad ones. Finally, the Digital Citizenship Pledge encourages clients to make a commitment to being respectful and responsible online.
Working through these pages can help young people reclaim control online. A great practice tip is to role-play responses with a trusted adult so they’re ready if cyberbullying happens.
Teachers and parents can create a shared “Digital Safety Jar” filled with small pieces of paper containing cyber-kindness reminders, response ideas, or healthy screen-time tips. Each week, young people can pull one out, discuss it, and put it into practice.
The activities on these worksheets can be supported by our How To Protect Yourself From Cyberbullying handout.
